Authentication

GeoGPT allows you to use your own AI provider keys for processing queries. This ensures you have full control over your usage and costs.

Configuring your API Key

You can set your API key directly within the application. This key is stored locally in your browser and is never shared with anyone except the AI provider during processing.

Steps to Configure:

  1. Open the Settings modal from the sidebar.
  2. Enter your provider API key (e.g., OpenAI or Anthropic).
  3. Click Save.

Security

Your keys are encrypted and stored in your browser's localStorage. They are sent to the backend only when you perform a chat query, where they are used as a bearer token to communicate with the AI models.

Important Note

If you do not provide an API key, the system may use a default trial key with limited capacity and lower rate limits.
